The Flintlock Musket: Brown Bess and Charleville, 1715–1865
Stuart Reid and Steve Noon
The flintlock or firelock musket is one of the most iconic weapons in
history: used on the battlefields of the English Civil War, it was then
carried by both sides at Blenheim, Bunker Hill, Waterloo and the Alamo,
and dominated warfare for more than 150 years, with military service as
late as the American Civil War in the 1860s. Featuring specially
commissioned full-colour artwork, this engaging study examines the role
that the flintlock played in close-order combat on European and other
battlefields around the world. Employing first-hand accounts to show how
tactical doctrines were successfully developed to overcome the weapon's
inherent limitations, Stuart Reid offers a comprehensive analysis of
the flintlock's lasting impact as the first truly universal soldier's
weapon.
